Robin Colbert, WIBA/WRN) A former state supreme court justice weighs in on impeaching the newest Wisconsin Supreme Court justice.

Former  Justice David Prosser is advising against an attempt to impeach Janet Protasiewicz.  According to the Associated Press, Prosser  sent Assembly Speaker Robin Vos an email on Friday.

He wrote "Impeachment is so serious, severe, and rare that it should not be considered unless the subject has committed a crime or has committed indisputable ‘corrupt conduct’ while ‘in office.’"

Prosser turned over the email to the liberal watchdog group American Oversight as part of an open records request. Vos appointed a panel of former state supreme court justices, including Prosser, to weigh in on potentially impeaching Protasiewicz.
